Thanks Graham. But where from here? When I open the file in Excel it looks pretty normal but when I open in Notepad it is beyond garbage.
What the heck happened here? All I could think of to possibly convert everything is (in Excel) to copy all data and then Paste Special everything as "values". Still garbage. Clearly I'm no expert. Do you know how I can somehow force everything into ASCII ? (I just googled "convert garbage to ascii" and similar phrases but did not find the answer yet :) Appreciate your help! -treliff --- In [email protected], Graham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > your data file is not ascii text > > > -- > Cheers > Graham > AB-Write >< Professional AFL Writing Service > Yes, I write AFL code to your requirements > http://e-wire.net.au/~eb_kavan/ab_write.htm > > > On 11/09/06, treliff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I am trying to ASCII import a .csv file with a custom .format file and > > just cannot get it done: none of the tickers is imported at all. > > > > I just tried the Import Wizard and after I "Pick files" and > > click "Next" this is what shows: > > > > Data file sample: > > ÐÏ à¡± > > > > I ASCII import all the time without any problem but this particular > > file just won't go. > > > > It is a .csv file so there is no HTML or anything else that could > > cause "garbage", at least as far as I know. > > > > Has anyone perhaps experienced this and/or know what could cause this? > > > > Thanks! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Please note that this group is for discussion between users only. > > > > To get support from AmiBroker please send an e-mail directly to > > SUPPORT {at} amibroker.com > > > > For other support material please check also: > > http://www.amibroker.com/support.html > > > > > > Yahoo!
